Commercial housing agencies often require a fee for their services. The fee differs per agency, but is usually a few hundred euro. Rental agreement terms can differ per agency/accommodation. In most cases commercial agencies require a minimum period of stay of 6 to 12 months. After this period you are free to cancel the rental agreement with a notice period of one month.

How to apply for housing

The link to the housing application form will be sent to you by your department. To guarantee that your housing is available around the day of your arrival, the housing application needs to be obtained by the international office at least two months prior to your arrival. The form can also be filled out for you by the secretary of the department. The TU/e cannot guarantee that you will be granted the accommodation of your preference.

If you prefer to arrange your housing yourself, information and tips are available here.

What happens after we have received your application?

When we receive your application for housing, we will send you an e-mail. In most cases accommodation is arranged with Vestide.
